Persistent Connections & Disconnecting from the VME

Q: Will my work be lost if I lose connection to the VM(s)?

A: No!

If you have work running in the VME and you become disconnected, the work and applications running on the VM will not be interrupted and will continue working.  You can reconnect to the VM from the same, or different, machine and continue the session. 

If you wish to purposely disconnect from a VM in the VME without interrupting the work taking place, simply close your browser tab or window.  You can also use your back button to return to the main VME Home screen.  

If you wish to exit the environment and no longer perform work on the VM, log out of the VM session itself.  This logs the machine out to the log in screen just the same as your physical workstation.
